Topic: Do not give up on your child (Read 6489 times)

If you have an infant who appears to be delayed in development do not give up. My mom wanted to give up on me but Dad wouldn't let her. Eventually I did hold my head up, sit up, crawl, walk and ride a bike. I learned to ride a bike at age ten but at least I did it. I never tried hard in school because it didn't seem I could compete or be on an even keel with my peers. When I got to junior high I was picked on excessively because of the Milwaukee brace and being overweight. I seriously contemplated jumping out the third floor window in school. But I didn't want to make my parents sad. I tried various jobs when I graduated from high school and lost a job as a laundry aide because I could not keep up the physical pace. I worked second shift and had to work by myself and it was hard. I decided to work hard at becoming a better person. I attended college, received a degree in human services and graduated with high honors. I also took the Dale Carnegie class and got the highest achievement award. Now I am struggling at work again with my memory and am fearful of losing this job which I have had for eleven years. Yellowbelly
